- Four mana supplies Dion and a Knight, both able to fly during your turn. The six-mana tap activation exiles and returns him as a new Saga, so it normally cannot attack that turn. Use the first chapters to improve the rest of your board; the last chapter destroys a permanent and returns Dion for another Knight.

Observational, not a causal bonus. Both cards must be in the deck. Drawn means opening hand or normally drawn; each card counts once per game. Game-level approximate intervals do not account for repeated games by the same drafter.
At least 100 games in each of four drawn/not-drawn groups; adjusted for game length and screened by the lower confidence bound. Do not add these points to a card’s win rate.
